Overview

This node operation creates a new batch for item ingestion in the Fredhopper Product Discovery system. It is useful for users who want to group multiple item updates or additions into a single batch for processing. For example, a user can create a batch to prepare a set of product data updates before submitting them for ingestion into the catalog environment.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating a batch for a specific tenant and environment to organize item updates before ingestion.
2. Using the batch creation to manage product data updates in a controlled manner.
